Sachsendorfer Wiesen

Brandenburg  >  Germany

In the western part of the small city of Cottbus, this area is a local favourite for walking. Meadows, wetlands, copses of trees - plenty of space for birds.

Description

The birding in the Sachsendorfer Wiesen is good because there are lots of different habitats in a small area. Within the area is the protected zone of NSG Schnepfenried, where there are Common Snipe (according to the signs; I've yet to see one) and Northern Lapwing. In the open fields it is common to see White Stork, Common Crane and Eurasian Kestrel. Along the outer stretch, called Priorgraben, Common Nightingale is abundant. Every now and then, White-tailed Eagle are flying over.
